(Order, GoUovtem, Families Bupiestis, CurcuHo, eta.) The Gouty G\—(Ru/n poda- gra, new species.)—lu the spring of the year, when Raspberry and Blacliberry patches are being overhauled and pruned, many of the canes will often be noticed to swell out in particular places, (like a limb infested by the gout,) for the length of an inch or so, as shown in Figure CS. Instead of being smooth and of a uni- form color, like the healthy [Fig b> ] parts, the swelled part of the cane, wliich is a true gall, always splits up lon- gitudinally into a great many short, rough, brown- ish slits, and on inspecting these gouty galls more care- fully, numerous little ridges will be observed, the gen- eral direction of which is round and round the axis of the cane. If theobserver takes his knife and cuts into the ridges just now describ- ed, he will find under each of them the passage-way <it' a minute borer, tilled wit the brown excrement which he has left behind him; and either in these passage-ways or in the pith of the cane he will often detect the insi- dious little borer himself. (Fig. on, b.) This borer is e:„,,at otthe caue, a small, thread-like larva, withbiuwn scales. of a creamy white color, with the front part of its body much Hattened out horizontally, as in the common Ilammcr-headed Borer of the [Kig, «).].
